Need help sourcing bushings!
Hey guys I'm new to the forum and new to the rotary world! Super stoked that I'm finally getting to restore my 1975 repu and this forum is gonna come in handy! I want to replace all of my suspension bushings and anything rubber. I was wondering where I can purchase all of these components. Thanks!! Will keep y'all posted on the resto.

I can't find them from aftermarket companies like energy but you can try atkins/mazdatrix they stock some random oldies. Also I believe ford courier bushings work as well. Good luck and if you find some let me know.

you can find evry bushing at your local advanced auto parts, autozone or rock auto. Moog makes them. The only two you will not find are the drag link. if you want to replace it, you have to purchase a drag link from a mazda b2200/2000 and have it extended. pretty easy to do....search this forum and you will find pics of what is required. the other you may not find are the leaf spring bushings. superpro makes them. they come with everything you need. they are really nice...no squeeks. recently did this to my truck.
you can get most of the part of numbers from the pic below

Watch the Moog ES2073L parts as I ordered 2 from Rock Auto, and one came in with a right hand thread when it requires a left hand thread. They sent another, and it was again a RHT. This is the outer tie rod end. I orcered the same part number from my local advanced auto, and it came in perfect.

So what's your plan to get it to fit in the engine bay and not have the shifter end up in the bed?

so far the only plan is to use an FB tailshaft housing on the TII tranny. This will gain approxiamtely 6". Going to move the radiator forward to gain another 4". Then will move the shifter location another 2" back.
Thats the plan at lease.....lets see if works. removed old tranny and 13B yesterday. Let the games begin.

Post a pic of the mock up once it's in there. I'd like to see it.
Side port or peripheral port 20b ?
